Abstract
Oxidases present in plant cultured cells of Catharanthus roseus can hydroxylate saturated centers of natural products without double bond activation. When starting materials were 1,8- or 1,4-cineole, secondary and tertiary alcohols were produced and identified using NMR and mass spectroscopy. Our results indicate that hydroxylation position and stereochemistry are determined by the biotransformation organism.
Keywords: 1,8-cineole, catharanthus roseus, biotransformation organism
